leaders

Next week, Infopeople is sending a few California librarians to a new and unusual library conference. "R-Squared" (Risk x Reward) promises an exciting "mountaintop experience," both in that cheesy life-changing sense and also in a completely literal sense, as we'll be spending a few breathless days in Telluride, Colorado, at close to 10,000 feet. We've received advisory emails about drinking extra water, toning down weekend exercise goals, and coming with open minds.

If we step away from concerns about not seeing forests for trees and look, instead, for the hidden roots to projects like the new San Francisco Public Library (SFPL) Leadership Academy, we discover encouraging stories about leadership, patience, and how long projects can take to reach fruition.

We don’t have to look very far to see that leadership is an issue which is much discussed and often promoted within libraries and the communities they serve—possibly because so many of us sense a leadership void in so many of the organizations and political entities we encounter.
